Upholstery Button Parts for Professional Button Making

Livedale supplies a practical range of upholstery button parts for making, repairing and fitting fabric-covered buttons across traditional and modern upholstery work. This category includes the core components needed for button production, from aluminium button shells through to button wire backs, prong backs, hook backs, tape backs, contra buttons, nail backs and washers.

These button making parts are commonly used by upholsterers, furniture repairers, soft furnishers and trimming workshops when producing covered buttons for sofas, chairs, headboards, footstools, cushions, deep-buttoned panels and other upholstered furniture. Whether the job is a small repair or regular workshop production, using the correct button backs and matching button shells helps create a secure, neat and professional finish.

Button Shells, Backs, Washers and Tapes

The button parts range includes aluminium button shells for creating fabric-covered upholstery buttons, along with several fixing and backing options depending on the type of work being carried out. Wire backs are often used for traditional buttoning and deep-buttoned upholstery, while prong backs, hook backs, tape backs and nail backs provide alternative fixing methods for different upholstery applications.

Spring washers and prong washers are also available to help support secure button assembly and fitting. These small components may not look exciting, but in proper upholstery work they matter. A button is only as good as the parts holding it together.

For Sofas, Chairs, Headboards and Deep Buttoning

Upholstery button parts are widely used in both furniture restoration and new upholstery work. They are suitable for creating covered buttons for deep-buttoned backs, decorative chair details, footstools, ottomans, headboards, loose cushions and replacement upholstery buttons.

For best results, match the button shell size and button back type to the fabric, depth of pull and fixing method required. Heavier fabrics and deeper buttoning normally need stronger fixing methods, while decorative surface buttoning may require a different backing style.

Complete Your Buttoning Setup

For a complete upholstery buttoning setup, this category works alongside Livedale’s broader Buttoning Parts & Equipment range. Customers may also need Buttoning Tools for cutting, pressing and assembling covered buttons, or Press Studs & Rivets for related fastening work.

If the finished button is part of a decorative furniture trim, the Decorative Nails & Nail Strip section also includes Loose Nails and Nail Strips for adding a traditional or decorative upholstery finish.
